StarTech RDA1U Rack Shelf
Overview
The StarTech RDA1U is a 1U rack shelf designed to provide flexible mounting options within standard 19-inch server racks. This shelf allows you to mount non-rackmount equipment, such as network switches, routers, or other IT devices, by providing a stable platform. It's particularly useful for bridging gaps in rack configurations or for accommodating equipment that lacks rack ears. The RDA1U supports up to 90 lbs. in a 4-post rack setup, making it suitable for a range of commercial IT deployments. Its TAA compliance ensures it meets government procurement requirements.
Compatibility
This rack shelf is designed for use in standard 19-inch server racks and network racks. It utilizes square mounting holes, compatible with standard cage nuts, allowing for secure installation. The shelf's depth is adjustable, accommodating equipment of various sizes. It is suitable for mounting a wide range of IT and AV equipment that does not have its own rack ears, including small form factor PCs, network appliances, and audio/video distribution units.
Installation Notes
Installation requires standard rack mounting hardware, specifically cage nuts and screws, which are typically included with server racks. The shelf itself mounts to the front or rear vertical rack rails. For 4-post racks, it supports up to 90 lbs. (40 kg). For 2-post racks, the capacity is reduced to 10 lbs. (2.5 kg) due to the inherent stability limitations of 2-post configurations. The shelf dimensions are 1.8 inches high, 4.0 inches deep, and 1.8 inches wide.
